    We've done the Morrison's savers card for 2 years now and what a difference it made they also did a spend £20 each week for 4 weeks and when you spent £20 in the 5th week they gave you £20 of shopping free. Hope they do the same again next Christmas.

    The £2 one we did all last year, they're pretty scarce coz everyone saves them lol, and it paid for spending money on hols for kids :) So we're doing both again this year plus Billy is giving me money to slip away for him and not tell him how much is there.

    Shopping wise we stick to a £20 per day budget which has to cover everything and any leftover by the end of the week goes to the following weeks shopping and so forth. Any surplus at the end goes into the savings account which we both put £50 a month into. It doesn't cover everything but Billy's so tight you couldn't get a credit card between the cheeks of his @rse, so somehow he makes sure we manage :)

    We have a copper, 5p & £2 jars to save and it usually gets spent at Christmas on treats.

    A big saving this year will be that we are not going to Florida like we have for the past 4 years.

    Bought a touring caravan last year so we are going to use that for some cheap holidays.

    Youngest two have happily played for the last two days with a car that big sis and dh made them out of cardboard boxes. Might as well not spent anythng on Christmas presents as they have had more fun with this lol.
    :wave:

    Please - Becky never shuts up so they can chatter to each other. The only time that child is quiet is when she is asleep.
